A Note From Mrs. Graham
Thank you for making me feel so loved on Valentine's Day. The kids were so precious and thoughtful with their notes and cards to me. Being a teacher on Valentine's Day is quite a blessing. I felt compelled to share some of the chocolate with my co-workers who aren't so lucky as to have 22+ Valentine's on February 14th.
